BBC Catch up - iplayer

BBC Catch up - iplayer

on Sky programmes available on BBC iplayer seem somewhat random. For example THe Great British menu is on live on BBC2 each night but on iplayer only some nights are available e.g. This week Monday, Tuesday but not Wednesday. Is this an error or deliberate? If deliberate, why?

If also have iplayer in one room on my Sony DVD player and various computers and all episodes are available.

Re: BBC Catch up - iplayer

An observation. I would have thought that Sky would be concerned that the iplayer on Sky does not have the full content available on other platforms e.g. BT Vision, Youview and Freesat. Do you have no influence?

To confirm I am currently a Sky subscriber, as part of that service you do promote iplayer as part of your catch up service.

Re: BBC Catch up - iplayer

Have just tried to watch a BBC programme broadcast yesterday on Catch Up and Sky demands I have to enter a PIN code before I can watch. Never had a PIN code so this is meaningless. Never mind better go back to watching catch Up via the blu-ray player and transfer to cable as Sky doesn't deliver what it advertises.

Re: BBC Catch up - iplayer

I would say that we have a point of contact with the BBC over this however this isn't something that would would give out.

We may not have the full content as yet however this is still in it early days and I'm sure this will get bigger and better as time goes on. I cannot say what influence we have over what goes on this however I will try to find this out.

Why does BBC iPlayer on SKY not have a search ALL programmes feature as exists in ITVPlayer, 4oD, & Demand 5

Not having this feature means you have to know which category the BBC has stored the prgramme under.A Search function exists on the web version of BBC iPlayer; Why on SKY On-Demand do you have to hunt through EVERY category on iPlayer in the hope to finding the programme you want to watch .

I see you say it is a BBC iPlayer issue -I'm stll waiting to hear back from the BBC

I understand you've contacted us regarding the 'search all' feature within the BBC iPlayer.

When the BBC iPlayer was launched on Sky on Demand it was decided not to add this feature, however we are grateful for audience feedback and for registering your interest in this feature. This will help us when reviewing and developing the BBC iPlayer on this platform.
